Feature Details:
The default is to calculate product charges in the specified category(ies) (including attribute charges) to determine the subtotal to discount. You can optionally include non-product charges in the calculation.

In admin, the store owner configures the trigger levels (number of items needed to activate the discount) and the corresponding percentage off. The store owner can designate 1 - 4 trigger levels so that he/she can vary the percentage discount based on the number bought. Reward the customer; the more the customer buys, the higher the discount percentage.

The store owner then includes a list of category codes that will be used in the calculation. Use this module for category-wide or store-wide discounts.

The discount amount will appear during checkout on the screen after the customer has entered their shipping method. This allows Merchant to include (optionally) any miscellaneous fees or coupons redeemed on the Shipping - Payment selection screen so the subtotal will be adjusted before the discount.

Additional features are in the compiled version of the module for Merchant 4.14 and newer. In admin you can setup eight separate groups with their own four-tiered discount and categories. Group 1 can have up to 12 tiers. Hence, if you want to discount one category of products with one set of rules (levels) and another category with a different set of rules, you can now do this. Multiple categories can be assigned to each group. As the basket is scanned, the quantities are subtotaled for each group. The discount is applied based on each group's rules, then summed together at checkout. If you are using the OpenUI in 4x (not needed in Merchant 5x), you can optionally display the updated discounts prior to checkout in the regular basket screen, recalculating and updating discounts based on changing basket contents. In admin, you can choose one price group, e.g. Wholesale, which is not eligible for the discount since they presumably already benefit from significantly lower prices. You can use the asterisk (*) to replace the category codes. When the module encounters the asterisk instead of category codes, it considers all further products eligible. As example, the asterisk in the first group would make all products in the store eligible for the discount. On the other hand, category codes in the first group would apply the first group rules to those categories. Then if there is an asterisk in the second group, all other products in the store would use those discount rules. In Merchant 5x you can include a table of the discounts for the category/group on both the category and product screens at the location you desire. Also in Merchant 5x, you can use product codes. To differentiate a product code from the expected category code in this input, you preceed the product code with the # character and terminated it with the | character. In the screen shot below you can see that Group 6 includes all of category "HD_" plus one other product "1S_00002", which is not in this category. As you can see, you can combine a group of products from other than specific categories to form the group discount.

MMUI and OpenUI compatible. No editing of mv files required for either user interface for standard functioning. Configuration is setup through Merchant Admin.
